Review Summary

Reviews describe Café Milano as a legendary and historic spot with an old school vibe and a reputation for great Italian sandwiches, cannolis, and espresso, plus strong value and a welcoming atmosphere that invites conversations and late night visits. The coffee and desserts are frequently praised, with several describing the café as a reliable place to meet up or grab a bite, and the sandwiches and cannolis often highlighted as standout items. The ambiance and a large terrace are noted positives, though some reviewers warn that the interior can be noisy or dim and that cleanliness needs attention, with one or two saying the place isn’t as fresh as in the past. Service is described as friendly and prompt at times, but other comments point to inconsistent experiences, long waits, or miscommunications during busy periods. Parking is occasionally mentioned as a challenge, but the overall sentiment remains affectionate, presenting Café Milano as a classic, comforting Italian cafe that draws visitors for coffee, paninis, and sweets despite the caveats.

Great value for your money. Italian sandwiches are delicious. I tried zucchini fries instead of French fries & really enjoyed it. Best espresso 😋

Its been nearly 15-20 years since I used to frequent Milano's. It used to be much smaller & run down. Kind of a greasy spoon type of place that made the best sandwiches & salads. Its a lot different now. Its been redone, doubled in size & has a modern cafe bistro vibe. I ordered the 7' chicken cutlet sandwich. The smaller chicken salad, an aranciata & cappucino. The bill with tip was $40. The sandwich was good, but small. The chicken cutlet & toppings much thinner than I remember. The salad also okay. The chicken a bit dry & the dressing not as good as I remember. It needed also salt, which was not provided on the tables. Everything tasted fresh. The coffee was amazing. I should have asked for chocolate on top of my cap. Very clean inside the resto but the bathroom was not. All in all, I enjoyed my meal. It was a blast from the past with a bit of nostalgia mixed with some disappointments.

Trop cher pour la portion de sous marin, pas assez de garniture dans le sandwich.

Great sandwiches, the place was crowded. No table service. You order at the counter & they call out your name inside the restaurant or on the terrace when your order is ready.

Update 2: I don't know what happened but this is not the same place. There is no taste

Update: Tried chicken sandwich & Ferrero rocher cake next day & it was disappointing. The chicken was missing taste & the cake was gummy & chewy.

First time: Very tasty Italian sandwiches & desserts. I tried steak sandwich with fries that are served with chipotle mayo, Oreo cake & tiramisu. All tasty & at reasonable prices.

Le Sandwich était bon , par contre la salade au poulet pas terrible cette fois-ci , salade marinée ( cuite dans l'huile , molle , pas d'assaisonnement domage ; d'habitude c'est bon . Je l'est dit au serveur , soit il a pas compris , ou il s'en fou je sais pas , zéro réaction

The food is good overall, & the sandwiches & sweets are definitely worth trying. Their salads can be great too, but you have to be really specific with your order to get the best result. The only downside is the coffee-it's a bit on the weak side.

Food & service was good. We ordered sandwiches & a salad. Sandwiches were great, salad was under-seasoned & lacking some flavour & toppings given the price. But overall really good & i would go back.
